Hi, this is Shauna. Thank you to Christina for the nod. It’s true that blotchy redness on the face can be one of the symptoms of celiac. There are, of course, many other reasons for redness, such as rosacea. If all else fails, it’s worth asking a doctor about celiac.

And no, I am not a chef. My husband is. I don’t know why Kate says I don’t stress medical tests. I definitely do! I was diagnosed by blood test and biopsy. Ask your doctor.

If celiac causes facial redness, then going gluten-free and changing to a 100 percent pork diet doesn’t solve the problem.

Just a note- please keep in mind that Shauna Ahern is not a chef, she’s a home cook.

In addition, she does not stress the importance of medical tests (biopsies, blood tests) for celiac diagnosis. If you feel that you have the symptoms, please please please do not self-diagnose- head to your PCP for the appropriate tests and information.

And of course, get yourself a redness-reducing skin cream!

Have you explored the idea that you might be allergic to wheat/gluten? I was just reading the blog of chef Shauna James Ahern who described facial redness as one of the symptoms of Celiac Disease. Go to http://glutenfreegirl.blogspot.com/ and click on “About this Site.” She’s got amazing recipes, and a thoughtful, heartfelt commitment to her writing, and cooking gluten-free. I’m just a fan. Hope this helps.

Hey Nic,

This is Gloria aka Taiwanese Girl. My sister has dry skin too (while I have oily skin), and she uses creams to moisturize. For drug store brands, I think Olay creams are the best. They also have a lot of SPF like this product.

Susan A. – My friend has atopic dermatitis since birth, and she lives on Eucerin Redness Relief products. Her parents, both doctors, recommend it to her. It’s definitely a great line!
